Mend Vauxhall SX1 16V Immobiliser Engine Fault

how do I make my Vauxhall corsa a reliable starter?

My Corsa SX1 16V reg Mar 03 has been unreliable since I made an emergency stop 2 yrs ago. It has been in dealership garage & they were unable to find fault. Two independent mechanics have replaced the battery. With ignition engaged the only display is the exhaust emissions sign.Starter motor works but engine does not catch. I think it is down to an erratic immobiliser prob. I have tried following suggestions in handbk but no joy. Car starts one day but not the next?
